I was having trouble on my alpha lenses with exposure in sweep pano. I haven't tried it with an adapted lens with manual aperture ring.
BTW I have seen the underexposure in the multi metering mode as compared to center weighted, as mentioned earlier by barjohn, seems to be about a stop under in the shots I did.
Knowing Sony, it's a proprietary connector.The Pano feature is pretty neat, indeed. Nice examples of the coastal scenes, Terry.
Has anyone found a cable/connector for the teeny NEX flash?
Also, is there any indication that something larger will be available in the future?
True, but mechanical bayonet is a bit bigger than the widthTrue enough. It's just a tad more expensive to tool up for such a connector, as opposed to a mechanical bayonet.
I also have seen it and could not make any sense of it.On the focus display, it doesn't matter whether center or spot focus mode is selected. When I point at a poorly lit scene and the camera finds focus it creates the large dotted green rectangle, if I point to a well lighted scene it forms the small center green rectangle on focus. No where is this described that I have been able to find in the manual.
I read that the camera needs more light and it switches to wide area focus mode.Uwe, Very nice shot and nicely processed.
The exposure in good light is very different in multi which is what makes it frustrating. If it always underexposed by X you could just crank X in but it doesn't.
One other question. In movable point focus mode the small focus square turns into this large dotted green frame around the entire image. I can't figure out what that means. Pressing the option button brings it back so you can move it but once you press OK you have it back. I can't find any reference to it in the manual. Anyone know what is happening?
Monza any 16mm lenses available? If not do you know when you expect to get them?
Interesting. So how do you know what it focused on?I read that the camera needs more light and it switches to wide area focus mode.
Well, I found my answer for the ZM 35mm f2 on m4/3. It doesn't look great at the edges:

I've been looking at the design of the CV 35mm f1.4, and although I'd certainly prefer a Leica or ZM if I was shooting the M9, the CV may very well perform better at the edges on NEX. I'll probably just buy a NEX+M adapter and rent every 35mm I can find until one works well....or, Sony could do me a favor and just release a darn standard prime. lol.
